A thread yesterday had a variety of people asking if the unemployment is lower because the youth are well cared for.

Please click through and read for additional context. Families are helping. Parents age and are not a long-term plan except for the most unusually wealthy.

Please remember: China is nominally communist. Functionally, they are capitalists with an usual side of excess infrastructure spending. A strong central government doesn’t make a country communist.

Their land use rules… that makes them communist-ish. But that’s a small part of a far larger picture.

    Does your employer ask you for comments before they allow your other fellow employees to publish work?

    I didn’t think so. Yang doesn’t own CNN. He just works there

      Then they should have done similarly critical coverage of Yang’s plans. Instead they hired him as political commentator so they at least think that his policies are not laughable (or more likely that he never actually stood for them in the first place). News outlets should be consistent in their coverage.
